含义
短语 It dawned on someone that... 表示“某人突然意识到……”,强调一种顿悟或恍然大悟的感觉。
结构
It dawned on + 人 + that + 从句- 例:It dawned on me that I had left my keys at home.
例句
- It dawned on her that he wasn’t coming back.
- It suddenly dawned on us why the plan failed.
- It never dawned on him that she might be lying.
注意事项
该短语通常用于过去时(dawned),因为“意识到”是一个已经发生的心理过程。虽然理论上可用现在时,但实际使用中极为罕见。
不要与 dawn(名词,黎明)混淆。此处的 dawn 是动词,意为“开始被理解”。
常见错误
- ❌
It dawned to me that...→ 正确应为on,不是to。 - ❌
I dawned that...→ 主语必须是It,不能用人作主语。
